Fergie Admits Sneijder Contract Offer

July 30, 2011

Both Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill have confirmed that Manchester United are not currently in talks for a central midfielder, although the chief exec claimed that there were three players we were looking at whose deals could be completed once we return from America.

Fergie’s bff, Bob Cass at The Daily Mail, has a quote from the manager which confirms that we have approached the player.

“If he wants to come he must accept our contract offer. If not, we have other options in mind. We’re done talking.”

Sneijder was in Dublin today with Inter Milan and some fans there claim that as he was getting on the bus he put his thumb up when asked was he joining United.

Update
Following the victory over Barcelona, Ferguson referred to the comments supposedly made by him as “nonsense”. This could well be because they are nonsense. Or it could be because the whole thing has been set up by the manager or that, most likely, Cass confused an off the record remark with something he could write about.

Thing that didn't add up,the article said WS is making 250k at inter which i've heard quite a few times and that makes sense probably what put utd off a couple of years ago,what puzzled me WS wants the same contract as rooney.Does that mean Rooney is making more than 250k a week or WS will take a pay cut aslong as it's the same as Rooneys and how would WS know what Rooney is making,he's going to demand to see Rooneys contract before signing?
I know some on here think i'm a old fashioned tyrant but the greed of todays players astound me,really 20k a week is going to make a big difference if he's making close to a mill a month,its fucking ridiculous and if it is all about money fuck him i don't want another Rooney on the team,thats just a slippery slope in becoming like city or the rentboys.

just like to add that doesn't include image rights and endorsements and obviously moving to a club with 350 million fans makes a player one of the most popular in the world overnight and increases income in other areas which more than compensates for taking 20k a week less.

Anyone seen this? "Sneijder tweeted on Sunday morning that he would be playing against his good friend Nigel de Jong for the first time, but he will be hoping that they can lock horns again this season: in the Manchester derby."

The Dutchman plays as if he's been out on the town in Amsterdam, Too relaxed! Or possibly just a lazy tw*t.. Bring in Joey ' me brothers an axe murderer' Barton before spending silly money on a player who really isn't that good, he plays in serie a, my nephews junior league is more tough...

Binos - he is a lazy twat and your nephews junior league is better than serie A! Fucking spot on! Slow, mindless, and overall shit - the Italians are in the worse shape as a league they have ever been - Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire does not come close. They will be on a par with the SFA soon

I honestly think Inter cannot pay his wages and see he is useless so they are pushing for him to leave - he was shit v Celtic. He has had few good games over the past 10 years, for sure - but funny he never makes a long lasting impact. Perhaps he's a twat in the dressing room?

HTF some folk reckon we need a midfield player who waits for the ball and looks for the Glenn Hoddle pass is beyond me - Scholes made the comment best about this sort when he commented on England squads. He does not commit at all to defending - strolls around letting his team do the work. He may have seen a few good "cup" games - but we need a player for a season - playing in Newcastle in January and this guy would'nt even stick his nose out of the tunnel. I rate Djemba Djemba better ffs.

We will do just fine with Nani/Giggs/Fletcher/Carrick/Anderson/CleverleyPark/Valencia/ etc etc + several good young prospects.

Either way get the shit sorted. I just do not think he is fit to wear our shirt.

After some google searching it appears the guy getting the bollocking by Fergie is none other than Mr Bob Cass. From what I can make out he isn't best pleased with him or his paper and he tells him so! :p
